poopy tweet :D
I browse Reddit every single day. I also am more educated than you and have better taste.
ITT: We summon /lit/
PLEB PLEB PLEB PLEB MARX STIRNER EVOLA PLEB DFW PUNCHON PLEB
DFW has no discernible talent.
I'd rather read terms and conditions than a Stephen King novel.
I take Freud very seriously.
>>7422411
>no discernible talent
>>7422407
I go to reddit everyday, but only to the Bernie Sanders subreddit.
>>7422439
We've talked before
>>7422394
42
xDDDDDDD
>>7422411
> implying DFW isn't a staple of /lit/
kek and a half
>>7422446
A good way to test if someone is from reddit or from 4chan is to ask them what they think the funniest number is, and see if they say 42, or 69.
>>7422452
And the joke is if the unironically answer that question they're definitely from Reddit
>>7422391
The Martian is shit.
>>7422465
also summons /sci/
>>7422462
If they say 69 though then you know they're being ironic, and are probbly from 4chan.
>>7422411
Maybe you hate Davido because of long repressed childhood trauma and penis envy reflected in your poor drop shots.
>>7422449
Reddit is extremely sincere, so DFW is their favorite author.
>>7422482
But I'm reddit's favourite author.
>>7422486
hi john green :)
>>7422486
That faggot who wrote Ready Player One?
>>7422465
He literally says "I'm going to science the shit out of this," at some point. Can you get any more reddit- and fedora-tier?
420 dude
>>7422480
Ok, I kekked irl.
Dude has anyone else heard about a book called 1984?
This book is a gem!!!
It's just like with what's happening with the NSA right now!
Bernie 2016! Legalize weed!
>>7422530
Slaughterhouse Five was a waste of my time.How did it get in the /lit/ list?

You don't have to be feminist to appreciate Bernie Sanders.
>>7422391
>tfw have only read timequake and thought that it wasnt bad
Vonnegut really is one of the better reddit-core authors though honestly
Dan Schneider is the definition of reddit.
>>7422786
Well, yeah, everyone knows reddit is filled with pedos. But then, so is 4chan
>/lit/ hates Vonnegut now
You guys are such sheep. Vonnegut used to be praised here until someone decided that it was 'reddit'
>>7422797
Hey man I've always hated Reddit
>>7422796
No. Dan Schneider from cosmoetica.

>>7422821
Seems like this guy's a meme now.
>>7422821
This guy is a literal nobody
>>7422826
He's important enough to have a Wikipedia article.
>>7422842
That he likely wrote himself...
being racist means you're stupid.
>>7422797
When was Vonnegut ever praised here ma man?
It was always right on the line, hated or loved depending on whomever was shitposting that day. The /lit/ pool of posters has always fluctuated and continues to do so. With the right kind of shitty OP, you can see the plebs come out of the woodwork
>>7422391
Why?
>>7422876
What else are you doing
>>7422849
I was about to say that /pol/ isn't reddit, but actaully it 100% is lol
>>7422898
haha
I like the Martian because it so scientific!
>>7422797
Vonneguts not bad, Slaughterhouse 5 is a pretty good war book.
People just think he's shallow, his writing is very apathetic mostly and quite samey - while his prose is serviceable, quite sentimental in parts but not fantastic. I don't think those are unfair comments.

No, you just have to be retarded
The Great Gatsby Isn't the greatest book ever written.
We've tried Communism, it didn't work.
Guns, Germs, and Steel is factually wrong.
>>7424528
>We've tried Communism, it didn't work.
You think that this would trigger Reddit?
>>7424530
Oh, Wait, I'm on /lit/, I forgot, we're even more far left than Reddit.
>We've tried Marxism, it didn't work.
>>7422391
But Kurt Vonnegut does suck
Andrea Dworkin and radical feminist authors in general are pretty fucking amazing.

That guy is outside oxford university. I don't think he can vote in the american elections.
>>7426501
It's not the same guy. For some reason there's a lot of people on this site who suffer from face blindness.
Stories are superfluous in high literature.
>>7426629
All white people look alike tbqh.

you know, i went on a date with a girl recently, and she would not stop talking about reddit, fuck me i wanted to get up and leave right then and there but she was too cute for that
>>7426807
Anyone who discusses internet culture in real life has had a failed upbringing.
>>7426954
honestly kind of agree, although it's such a huge and everpresent thing it usually filters pretty frequently into everyday conversation. Not mentioning the internet directly (something I admit I avoid) is kinda like using euphamisms to describe body parts 100 year ago, like saying "middle of your back" to refer to a butt. It's getting quaint to ignore internet culture.

this is pretty much what was going through my head while she was talking, apart from pic related, im not thirty, people my age do internet shit all the time, but i do think boorish to talk about shit you saw on the internet
Nietzsche, not so good.
>>7422797
I don't know if it was always like this, but /lit/ feels like a breeding ground for pseudo-intellectuals who think they're geniuses because they read 'smart stuff'. Never mind that Vonnegut's work can actually teach you a little bit about how to better live your life, if it's not five hundred plus pages and brings you a step closer to a stress induced aneurysm, it's shit.
The bell curve is a valid quotable source
>>7427173
I never got the problem with bell curves
Of what I've read, I love Vonnegut
Oops
>>7427208
hurts their feelings
what it really amounts to is that you get an A for getting 40% of the questions right and somehow the majority of people in the class are even more retarded than you.
>>7422533
is CLT actually dead???
